Jaylen Harrell is a defensive end in gridiron football who has declared for the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft as a senior from the University of Michigan. Harrell is a native of Tampa, Florida where he was born on May 1, 2002.
Harrell attended Berkeley Preparatory School (High School) in his hometown of Tampa where he played on the defensive side of the school’s football team. He finished his high school football career as a four-star recruit coming out of high school.
In 2020, he joined the University of Michigan as a true freshman but received limited playing time as he managed to participate in only four games. His best season came as a senior in 2023 as he finished with 31 tackles and led the team in most tackles for loss with 9 as well as most sacks with 6.5.
Heading into the NFL Draft, there is no question about the talent Harrell possesses. Yet, one of the downsides for him is his lack of size, aggression, and strength required to play the edge position at the professional level. Stronger o-linemen or tight ends are able to force him wide and although he has counter moves, he will have to be quick around the corners to be effective.
